Moda Center Seating Chart

• Suite Level
• 200s middle level
• 300s upper level — sections 301-330
• Tito's Handmade Vodka Club premium

Best seats at Moda Center

Sections 112-115 along the Trail Blazers bench are the marquee picks. Section 322 in the upper bowl is the value seat — Moda Center's upper level has surprisingly steep rake.

Tips before you go

MAX Light Rail's Rose Quarter station drops at the arena. Pre-game in the Pearl District for dinner, then walk over the Broadway Bridge. Portland's coffee scene means there's a great pour-over within two blocks of any direction.

How to read the Moda Center seating chart

Moda Center seats 19,980 in a bowl that wraps a central court, rink, or stage, so reading the chart starts at center and works outward. The lower bowl rings the floor closest to the action; a club or suite level sits in the middle; the upper bowl climbs above for the widest view. Lower-number sections sit nearest the action, and whether you are along a sideline or behind a baseline changes the view as much as the level does.

Three things decide an Moda Center seat: how close you are to the floor, whether you face the action square on or from a baseline, and how high you sit. For an arena this size, the value sweet spot is usually the first few rows of the upper tier at center — close enough to read the play, cheap enough to justify, and high enough for the full picture. For a concert the stage usually sits at one end, so cross-check the official Moda Center map against your ticket before you buy: a seat that's perfect for a game can sit behind the stage for a show.

Building a seating chart for an event at Moda Center

Hosting a suite night, a group outing, or a private event in the Portland area? A seating chart keeps the group organized before you ever reach the gates. Map your party onto tables that mirror the suite or section layout, assign each guest a spot, and export a PDF so everyone knows where they sit. For a private event in a banquet space near Moda Center, the same tool lays out rounds, banquet tables, and head tables, then prints a chart the venue's event-services team can work from. Capacity at Moda Center runs to 19,980 for its main configuration, but most private events use a fraction of that in a club, suite, or adjacent hospitality space — exactly the scale the maker below is built for.
